After taking claritin-D for a while I started feeling nervous will it go away?

Hello,

Yes, once you stop using Claritin -D it will go away.

One of the ingredients of this medication is pseudoephedrine, now this ingredient belongs to a class of amphetamine type groups.-

Now as you know amphetamines can make you nervous, edgy, lose your appetite, anxious, accelerated, etc...

I know this because I used to take them.-

I suggest you contact your Dr. tomorrow morning and let him / her know what you are experiencing .-

All the best and take care.-

Yep, the shakes will go away once the med is out of your system. If you still need an antihistamine for the nose try Claritin without the D (for decongestant) which is the pseudoephedrine that maso mentioned and is the part of the medicine that makes you jittery.

Hope this makes sense,

Laurie

this has the same effect on me I can use the Claritan but the Claritan-D I think has pseudoephedrine that is what causes this but once you finish this you will be fine if you should have problem discuss this with your doctor
